Plastic / Aircraft Model Assembly Kit
● Five-type fighter aircraft handling the increase of neckless haiku due to production delay of Ha 104 liquid cooling engine,
It is a type that has been converted to an air-cooled star-shaped engine H 112.

● In order to install a star engine bigger than the fuselage width on the aircraft designed as a liquid cool engine loading machine, the Kawasaki design team following Mr. Takeo Doi repeatedly strives hard and accomplishes this remodel in a very short time It was.

● The result shows that the fly-fighting performance and the take-off and landing characteristics are remarkably improved because the maximum speed was slightly lower than the hi-fire due to the increase in the front area, but the rise performance due to removal of the cooling system was improved, It improved, and it seemed to challenge the battle warfare equal to or more than even for F - 6 F helcat and P - 51 D Mustang.

● As the HOPE of the mainland air defense warfare, the five-style battle that succeeded in the first flight in February of 1943 was immediately devoted to mass production efforts, and was intensively deployed in the 244th Squadron, the 5th Squad, the 59th Squadron, etc. Although it was active in the mainland air defense warfare, about 390 aircraft were produced as a result of a bombardment of the factory due to the air raids, and it lost the defeat without becoming a big fighting force.
